Imagine a bellicose Einsteinian defending Einsteiniana in the following way: Bellicose Einsteinian: "Divine Albert's Divine Theory predicted that the gravitational redshift factor is 1+gh/c^2, and the Pound-Rebka experiment gloriously confirmed this prediction." Your reaction? It is obviously not enough to just say: "GR is wrong". Note also that the scientific community has been educated by people like Popper: Karl Popper: "...we can argue that it would be a highly improbable coincidence if a theory like Einstein's could correctly predict very precise measurements not predicted by its predecessors unless there is 'some truth' in it."
